Rush Reaction Turn the page

[@kevinkilduff2064]

What a superb song. Rush are clicking on all cylinders here. Geddy's voice is pitch perfect and as always the instrumentals and production are simply nonpareil! No band has before or ever will match this threesome for musical perfection.

[@gabrielcesarjuarez4413]

The Intro Bass riff in 6/8 is just a killer hookie line!Lifeson's amazing as always, big taste in sounding between crispy Cleans, Crunch and Lead for soloing. And of course, the Professor performing his classy dynamic drumming, never forsaking his poetry on lyrics. This Song is simply beautiful, impossibile to disengage!🤟

[@nodrush80]

After all these years, it's still cutting edge. Who plays like this? They are their own genre.

[@steveschaff4620]

When I first heard this my jaw dropped to the floor!🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@philf4086]

One of the most angular solos Alex has ever turned in. Fits the theme and music perfectly.

[@tanktankersley5575]

I've been a Rush fan since the early 80's, and Turn The Page has always been one of my favorites Rush tunes. In my opinion, it is definitely a hidden gem in Rush's catalog that's been overlooked more than it should have been. As an amateur bass player myself, I am amazed at Geddy's ability to perform the vocals and bass line simultaneously, considering how complex & diverse the two rhythm patterns are. I'm glad you reviewed this one. On an interesting sidenote, I remember hearing the opening bass line being used as a newscast opener in the late 80's or early 90's. It was a local station, but I don't remember which one. But I clearly remember hearing it and telling my family "hey, that's Turn The Page by Rush!".

[@michaelkeller6223]

Unknown gem. As always with their music, the lyrics seem more apt now than when the song was released...

[@timebandit0123]

So true,...Neil was kind of like Nostradamus..

[@Yes-gz9qs]

This song is played live on their live DVD\CD A SHOW OF HANDS. Its incredible!!

[@RogueReplicant]

Better than the studio version imho

[@DNR5586]

Where you "turned the faucet off" is where I turned it on. The Signals album is what got my attention. Subdivisions spoke to me, and being in high school at the time I could really relate to it. Been a Rush fan ever since. Enjoying your journey of '80's Rush tunes.

[@snowdog5895]

RUSH is always quality no matter what Era. Neil has written so many great lyrics over the years but I have to say the line "we can't soothe pain with sympathy" is one of my favorites. It is so true!! 🎶🎸🥁🎸🎶🔥🙂

[@paulriopelle2962]

As an 18yr old bass player when this came out in 1987 listening to this for the first time blew my mind. I was wondering how Geddy was going to sing and play bass to this song live and when I saw them play this in concert in Toronto Canada there home town I couldn’t believe it. Too much!!!

[@countfloyd1269]

Love this song and it is awesome live.

[@fabriciodarkpanzer837]

Thank you very much for giving us those reaction that for me and many many but many more consider the best Rock band in the whole universe. I really love Rush Greetings from El Salvador and RUSH 4 THE REST OF THE ETERNITY 🤘🤘😎

[@roncalvert7988]

Thank you for appreciating my fave band for 40 years. They are INCREDIBLE musicians.

[@surfeit5910]

This song is a perfect message for every event taking place in today's world - disengage and turn the page.

[@DionysusAlS]

Wow, you nailed it. Kudos. It's got kind of a Zen Buddhist message in that way. Yeah, for the last year now, I've been disengaging and worrying about myself only. What's happening with the scamdemic is mass psychosis and is just a stage that our society apparently has to pass through. I'm not involved, though. I'm a detached observer.

[@nathanfreeman681]

And Alex’s solo is IN. SANE. He’s full super siayan on this one. Also that chorused sound in the verses they also used on much of Hold Your Fire. They called it ”Lerxst tone”

[@yolsclassics6347]

The guitar work on this is phenomenal especially the solo.

[@Ram-2112]

Underrated song big time! Geddy's bass on this song is INSANE

[@nathanfreeman681]

That opening lick is one of my favorite lines to play on bass. Literally the first thing I play every time I pick up the instrument.

[@carlgibbons5777]

Cool! I play Neil's opening double bass groove onslaught at the beginning of One Little Victory practically every time I am free forming in my daily drum practice. lol

[@nickavenoso7851]

@@carlgibbons5777 Cool, For some reason when I’m about to play drums, I always warm up with either Time Stand Still, Anthem, or Animate. Neil’s was just incredible.

[@carlgibbons5777]

@@nickavenoso7851 That's great! Happy drumming as Neil used to say!

[@nickavenoso7851]

Another Gem from Hold Your Fire, my favorite album. Other Rush songs you need to check out: The Pass Subdivisions Losin It Countdown Dreamline Enemy Within Hand Over Fist Roll The Bones One Little Victory Double Agent Animate Test For Echo Driven Just a few to get you started.

[@Jelsick]

Holy shna, what the ffffla. Lol. This song is on the Show of Hands live video and album. Bass line is killer.

[@syd_luna]

This is my favourite song off the Hold Your Fire album, mainly because the bassline that Geddy spits out between his fingers are lit like fire!!

[@gregorygilbert3500]

Every time I hear this song it reminds me of the show from the 60's...The Time Tunnel. We all are a part of a time capsule and we all are the players.

[@norwegianblue2017]

Been to like 15-20 of their concerts since the mid-80s. Yes, they play live every bit as good as their studio, with the exception of Geddy's voice which declined in the 2000s due to age.

[@kirklandraab1999]

Hey ToneBone, loved the visceral reaction, terrific!

[@watchmakerfs]

Since you liked the synth era, maybe you should check out Signals, Grace Under Pressure, Roll The Bones, Presto. But I'd like you react to more modern Rush like Snakes & Arrows, Clockwork Angels, Counterparts. Just a suggestion. Cheers.

[@Scooter730]

Great stuff Brother!! Keep diving deep on this three man orchestra

[@jimtatro6550]

Check out Headlong Flight from the Clockwork Angels album or Far Cry from Snakes and Arrows. Love your Rush reactions, keep them coming!!!😎😎👌🏻

[@KentBalzer]

Thanks for an awesome reaction. Rush has played this song live. Geddy is absolutely amazing in this song. There are so many songs I can hardly wait for you to react to. Have you reacted to Freewill from the Permanent Waves album? Best song ever, in my opinion.

[@thegman8968]

Great reaction Bro!! Spot on with your comment that RUSH makes things that are difficult seem easy. That's what makes RUSH so great to listen to. They never make you work too hard to listen to a difficult piece of music!

[@winstonlane708]

MORE 🎸🥁🎸 RUSH

[@markomakela2102]

Thanks again ToneBone for reminding me of this album. I had forgotten it for years and as you said this sounded absolutely amazing. I need to go check myself some of the albums I have neglected.

[@tonebonetelevision]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@dannyhughes8187]

Just a thanks for doing rush. Keep on trucking bud..

[@kirklandraab1999]

Mr ToneBone terrific reaction and analysis - great job.

[@176crt]

Tony... You hit the nail on the head when you say you wanna listen to Jacob’s Ladder. By far one of my favorites from Permanent Waves... Entre Nous is another awesome song from Permanent Waves. The beauty about Rush is that both the lyrics AND the music tell a story, independent of each other (Jacob’s Ladder). And yes, Neil never liked repeating a drum beat throughout a song. Go back and listen, and you’ll find that the beat changes subtly throughout a song. Love the reactions 😊

[@Particulator]

Alex is getting that guitar tone splitting the signal into multiple amps that are then mixed together. The amps he's using are custom made for him so good luck creating that tone at home on one single amp. You can get a good approximation, but nail it? nah, unless you can afford multiple $80k amps😢 He's not only a good guitarist but also quite crafty when comes the time to create unique tones.

[@hf8913]

Nice reaction. Sorry you missed some amazing years following Moving Pictures... all is forgiven. :) Welcome back.

[@winstonlane708]

🪓Alex & Geddy Brought Their Axe 🪓 Neil 🥁 Brought 🥁 Skin 🥁

[@trenken]

Alex must have love this song lmao. He doesnt get to do much in it. Like much of rush’s mid 80s stuff.

[@kirklandraab1999]

Good observations Tone Bone. Always like your reactions. Yeah, Geddy tore his bass apart in this song...

[@vanamonde2]

"Some stupid assed music other than Rush" one of the greatest things ever said about Rush!

[@markperrette7760]

I have a few recommendations - Xanadu live exit stage left. Animate , Everyday glory , Leave that thing alone , you bet your life , ghost of a chance , Prime Mover , Bravado. Without a doubt you’ll enjoy all those songs

[@RogueReplicant]

I second you on 3 of those: - *Xanadu* (Exit Stage Left version) - *Ghost of a Chance* (studio version) - *Prime Mover* (studio version)

[@gregorygilbert3500]

This song epitomizes why they are called RUSH

[@groundscoresteve4964]

Welcome HOME Man!! We MISSED you!!

[@paulrowlston4239]

MORE Rush... La Villa Strangiato MUST

[@hfd413]

You did Mission (studio version) but the Snakes and Arrows Live (official version) is awesome. The only copy of this I have found is at YeOldeRock on youtube.

[@larrylangley9128]

Something off of the Test For Echo album that does not get a lot of attention is the last song on the album, Carve Away the Stone.

[@lisak1928]

Big money album has some good songs. Older sounds.. xanadu and Cygnus x-1 part one and two. Counterparts album is cool. Some good songs on Presto album . They are just fun to listen to. Awesome stuff. If you want another band check out Dream Theater albums: Images and Words and Awake

[@zerglilngvet5428]

Rush - Clockwork Angels Tour - The Garden

[@ginamarandino6451]

What you need to do is listen to the entire show of hands concert start to finish it is in my opinion the best they've done. After that, I think you need to move toward counterparts and test for echo two great ones if you haven't done already are bravado and stick it out

[@RogueReplicant]

Nah, there's a couple of duds in there. I didn't like the version of CTTH, what with the uncalled for extended outro 😑

[@richierich398]

Good to hear. Great reaction. I think you’re right about the time signature. I know Geddy said he has a hard time singing and playing the song at the same time

[@RogueReplicant]

What a weird, angular, sui generis, compelling work of art

[@zerglilngvet5428]

unreal solo

[@benredmond6636]

In your spare time you should check out the concert video A Show of Hands. Such a great concert video.

[@robertallinson2512]

I feel that Alex does not get enough credit. He jangles as well as Andy Summers or Edge, yet his leads are as clean as Gilmore.

[@evilvolts]

check out Rush Test For Echo Album from 1997 Color of Right, Virtuality, Driven, Dog Years, Half the world all the songs are great in my opinion best album since Power Windows and Hold your fire

[@christopherrice8432]

[@cristallecromey2663]

Tone Bone, Another great Rush song. "Lock and Key" on Hold Your Fire album. "War Paint" on the Presto album. Thank you.

[@norwegianblue2017]

A lot of people say this album went "a synth too far". Generally agree with that, BUT it has some awesome tracks like this one, Force 10 and Time Stand Still.

[@niged]

Great reactions. Try some later stuff, Far Cry, Caravan. Enjoy
